How do I format notes in Filevine?

Filevine allows you to format the text in notes and tasks using a system called “markdown” which is used by major web services such as reddit, Slack, GitHub and more. Here are some of the most common commands.

Titles / Headers

A title (also called a header) is created by placing two or more equal signs “=” or dashes “-” on the line directly below the text you want to be a title. Think of it as underlining or double underlining the text.

Large Header==

and

Regular Header—

​

Italics, Bold, Strikethrough

Use a single underscore on either side of text to italicize it.

_italics_

Use two underscores to bold the text.

__bold__

Use three underscores on either side of text to bold and italicize it.

___italics and bold___

Use two tilde on either side of text to do a strikethrough.

~~strikethrough~~

Insert images into a note

If you find an image that is hosted online, simply paste the web address of the image into your note and it will automatically appear in Filevine. Please keep in mind that the link must end with .jpg or .gif or .png for this to work.

Alternatively, you can upload an image using the attachment icon, and while it will not appear automatically, it will become a click-able link that will allow users to preview the image as shown below.

Creating Links in Filevine

Sometimes you’ll want to create a hyperlink out of text instead of simply pasting in a long URL which may disrupt the flow of your text. To do this use brackets “[ ]” to enclose the text you want to turn into a link, followed immediately by parenthesis “( )” enclosing the link.
